Shot this portrait today of two Wesleyan linemen. They were easy to work with and I needed to show them both being kind of big since they actually are kind of gigantic.
To get the sky that neon blue I used a CTO filter on my strobe and set my white balance to Tungsten, so to sum up: Photoshop was not used to get the sky that color. I first read about it on Strobist but Pouya says they’ve been doing it for a long time and that it was really big in the 70′s. Anyways, it was my first attempt at it and I like how it came out.

Yeah Joe McNally was doing that foreverago. I believe that’s where I first saw it. I’ve played around with it but can’t remember ever actually using it on assignment. Lovely color though.
